After the blinding darkness disappeared, the forest seemed to fall into extreme silence. Even the insects crawling under the rotten leaves did not make any sound.
"Lucien Evans..." A low voice that sounded like he was gritting his teeth came from the black clouds and diffuse mist in mid-air, containing an indescribable anger.
For Dracula, Lucien represents a memory that is definitely not a pleasant one. As a blood prince who has lived for who knows how many thousands of years, the entire world, including gods, can be ranked in the top ten.
The strong man was actually deceived by the design of a reptile who had just been promoted to the sixth ring. He suffered the most asymmetrical defeat. He could crush him to pieces with just his pressure and breath, but he could only watch in vain.
Watching him summon the ancestor, he was wounded by a sword.
Whenever he recalled this incident, Dracula felt his face burning with pain, and his heart was filled with humiliation and anger. He wanted to find an opportunity to hunt down Lucien, but the latter lived in seclusion, concentrating on arcane research, and was unable to pass through the Destiny Starry Sky when he went out.
Locking the whereabouts, and Dracula is always a vampire prince who values face very much, and he cannot do things near Aringe for a long time - even if he does not want face, he may not be able to hide it from the great arcanist guarding Aringe.
Therefore, things have been delayed again and again, until today.
Of course, for vampires with long lives, this is not considered a delay, especially a legendary peak powerhouse like Prince Dracula who can transform a prosperous city in his dreams. He may have hundreds of years of immortality in one sleep, and ten years of immortality.
The time left and right was as short as dinner time, and there was no delay. But who knew that in less than ten years, Lucien would grow from a sixth-ring mage to a peak legend, standing on the same level as himself?
!
This is a miracle he has never encountered before!
Considering that her "boss" was in a bad mood and unstable, just like every time he "woke up", Fitia sighed helplessly and politely said: "Mr. Evans, Flame Stone Valley is our dark place."
An important meeting is about to be held at the headquarters of the Parliament, so outsiders will not be able to approach unless invited. Do you want to be an enemy of the entire Dark Parliament?"
Hearing what she said was reasonable and well-founded, Lucien smiled and said, "I'm just here to visit Mr. Rhine. I can wait for him nearby."
To be honest, even if someone invites him, Lucien is not willing to enter the Flame Stone Valley. There are powerful mythical locks in it, and there is a legendary pinnacle who is hostile to him. In addition, the ancient time dragon Danissus has no good opinion of humans.
, entering hastily is equivalent to entering the holy city of Reims and letting your life fall into the hands of others.
Suddenly, Dubnar, who stood up again, said in a rough voice: "What if Mr. Evans invites you? We, the werewolf clan, invite him to observe the meeting and witness the justice and fairness of the meeting."
Nasdel was shocked. How could His Excellency the Prince, who had fought a life-and-death struggle with Lucien Evans before, suddenly invite this legendary magician from the Magic Council? Did the silver moon rise from the west?
For a moment, he felt that his brain was like a ball of mush, and he could not figure out his thoughts. He had to lament that although he was smart, compared with the profound wisdom of His Excellency the Prince, he was still like a clown and could not understand his profound thoughts.
Unpredictable plan!
"Dubnar, do you understand what you are doing? You are an ugly monster with a brain full of wolf hair." Dracula, hiding in the darkness high in the sky, said arrogantly and sharply.
Under normal circumstances, Prince Dracula is still a gentleman who pays great attention to etiquette, but opposite him is an ugly and smelly werewolf, a sinister and cunning reptile, who does not need to be polite.
Dubnar laughed loudly: "This is the right of our werewolf family, a right recognized by all members of the Parliament..."
"I didn't say I wanted to observe the meeting." Lucien interrupted him in a calm tone.
Huh, Dubnar's smile froze on his face, and he said in shock and annoyance: "Then what are you doing here?"
What are you going to do if you don't sit in on the meeting and disrupt Danisus and Dracula's plans?
"I'm here to visit Mr. Rhine." Lucien was not familiar with this werewolf prince, but it was recorded in the parliament's documents that he was a legend with a simple and linear way of thinking, so he repeated it very understandingly.
"Then you didn't tell me earlier!" Dubnar's roaring voice frightened all the strange birds in the forest. Aren't these excuses all excuses? Excuses, don't you understand?
"I've already said it..." Lucien couldn't help but rub his forehead, what on earth were you thinking about just now?
Listening to the conversation between the two, Dracula fell into silence high in the sky. Nasdel felt more and more that his brain could not keep up with the rhythm. Fedia's cat-eye-like green eyes suddenly flashed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly.
twitch.
"Actually, Mr. Evans, you can sit in on this meeting." Feitiya couldn't bear to let the conversation continue and said softly. At the same time, she looked at the white-clawed black bird moving in the direction of Dubnar.
The cat waved, "Sco, come back."
"Fitya, what do you want to do?" Dracula said slightly surprised.
Feitiya completely ignored his "boss" and said to himself: "Because the content of the meeting was leaked in advance, at the strong request of most members, the meeting will be held outside the Flame Stone Valley to prevent some careerists.
Use the Mystery Lock to strangle opponents, so there is no danger in listening."
"Fitia!" Dracula's voice already had a hint of anger.
The little black cat "Sco" raised his paws, ignored his "master"'s call, and moved toward Nasdel. He loves playing with big dogs the most!
"This way..." Lucien muttered.
Fitia chuckled and said, "Stannis will also come to listen."
"I'm also curious about what the outcome of this meeting will be." Hearing that the "King of Nightmares" would also come to attend, and that he was not in the Flame Stone Valley, Lucien was naturally willing to attend and know where things were going for the first time, and
Maybe it can still play some role.
When he heard that Lucien was willing to participate, Dubnar laughed heartily. It was indeed an excuse. I have seen through you a long time ago!
Nasdir admired him so much that he felt that His Excellency the Prince was really far-sighted.
The darkness in the sky became much lighter, and it seemed that Dracula had left. Fitia signaled: "Mr. Evans, I will take you outside the Flame Stone Valley."
Having said this, she blinked her eyes and said with a faint smile: "It is really a wonderful thing to discover the sun."
Ever since she appeared, there was always a hint of melancholy and nostalgia hidden in her smile, and she seemed to have mixed emotions about the whole world. But this time, her smile was pure and bright, just like the snow kite blooming on the northern ice sheet.
Her attitude reminded Lucien of the information he had read. Isn't Fetiya the legendary magician "Ice Queen" from the northern Shahran Empire? The legendary third-order strongman who disappeared during the Dawn War.
By!
"Snow Queen?" Lucien asked this legendary title in confusion. How did she become a vampire?
Feitiya smiled: "This is a long and boring story. In short, due to problems with my body and soul, I can only rely on becoming a vampire to continue my life. By the way, don't discuss too much arcana with me.
, I’m afraid I’m going to explode my head.”
"Am I notorious?" Lucien laughed at himself humorously, and walked into the forest with Fedia, thinking to himself. It is said that she knows many ancient mysterious rituals.
Most of the current legendary magicians have nothing to do with the ancient magic empire. A few such as Douglas and others were only at the level of high-level or magicians at the end of the ancient magic empire, and were far from the core of the empire. Therefore, they are truly familiar with the ancient magic empire.
The only legendary magicians who performed this strange ritual were a few from the Dark Mountains and Pope Viken, and the former's status at that time was far inferior to that of Fedia.
——At the end of the ancient magic empire, there were only two legendary peaks among the three empires. Apart from them, there were nearly twenty legendary third-level magicians represented by Fedia.
Seeing that his owner ignored him and left, the little black cat "Sko" quickly turned around and followed him quickly.
Nasdel continued walking in the forest with Dubnar. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, why did you invite Lucien Evans?"
"Because this is what Dracula is opposed to." Dubnar replied, and then he felt that this could not reflect his wisdom, so he added, "Lucien Evans has been promoted to the peak of legend, and the advanced time has stopped.
, Eternal Blazing Sun, Luxurious Disintegration, Forgiveness of the Ice and Snow Goddess and other legendary magics with special effects and great power. It is difficult for me to compete with him head-on, so I can only use my strengths and defeat him with wisdom."
"The format of this meeting is complicated, which is perfect for me to launch a conspiracy. Lucien Evans will never be able to safely observe it."
Nasdel was filled with excitement when he heard this. As expected of the prince, he had found a way to deal with Lucien Evans so quickly!
…………
In the Flame Stone Valley, there are erupting volcanoes, and the air is filled with thick dust, like lead clouds, but it is not dark here, the rolling and flowing flames illuminate everything red and bright.
Outside the valley, black throne-like chairs were placed in an open space, with a wide open space of dozens of meters in the center.
Already sitting on the chair were strong men with special costumes or appearances, including a dark epic knight with six arms, and an illithid with an octopus head (the official scientific name determined by the Magic Empire, but commonly known as the Mind Flayer, because
They are good at controlling the mind). There is a legendary magician shrouded in a black cloak, a middle-aged man filled with dragon power and a deathly silent expression, and a giant tawny eye with many small tentacles extending around it.
, and above the tentacles are small eyes of different colors.
Seeing Feitiya coming with Lucien, the six-armed knight among them suddenly blurted out: "Lucien? Evans?"
There was strong uncertainty in his tone.
"Lucien? Evans?" Other legendary powerhouses also recognized Lucien's identity, and the atmosphere suddenly became solid.
Although they have not left the Dark Mountains for a long time, it would be an insult to their intelligence to say that they do not even know one of the most dangerous powerful men in the world. (To be continued.)
